Christian Olson

You will talk to me, Christian. 9 years getting local businesses found on Google, now for contractors across Minnesota.

The leaks costing Minnesota contractors jobsFive places a Minnesota job slips away, in order, from a homeowner's search in St. Paul or Rochester to the moment you call back.

Shingling in July, when NOAA logs the most Minnesota hail reports. A call that comes in now goes to voicemail.

  1. They search and don't find you

    What it costs youMinnesota had 17,568 construction businesses in 2023, and 11,446 of them were specialty trade contractors. (Census Bureau, 2023) A homeowner in Minneapolis or St. Paul calls the handful that show first on the map. More homeowners now ask ChatGPT or Google's AI answers who to call, and a business that isn't named there isn't on their list.

    The fixGoogle Maps SEO on your profile and your site, every month, to lift you in local search across the Minnesota cities and suburbs you work. The same work helps get your business named in AI answers, and you see your map rank in the monthly report.

  2. They check your Google profile and pass you over

    What it costs youHail sends homeowners straight to Google profiles. NOAA logged 1,027 Minnesota hail reports over 2023-2025, with the most in St. Louis, Hennepin and Itasca counties. (NOAA Storm Events) A profile with old hours and a few reviews loses that call to one that looks busy.

    The fixI optimize your Google Business Profile and get review requests going, so Minnesota customers whose jobs you’ve finished leave the reviews they keep promising.

  3. They open your website and can't book

    What it costs youA brochure site gets a quick look and no call. Minnesota licenses residential builders, remodelers and roofers, and a homeowner who can't see your license on the site keeps looking for a contractor who makes booking easy.

    The fixA contractor website built to book: your services, the Minnesota cities you cover, your state license, your number and a way to book the estimate on every page.

  4. They call and get voicemail

    What it costs youMinnesota's busy months run hot. NOAA logged 144 heat and excessive heat entries for the state over 2023-2025, most in August and July, the same months hail peaks. (NOAA Storm Events) That's when you're on a roof and the phone rings in your truck. In a 2025 CallRail survey of 1,000 US consumers, 82% said they'd call a competitor if a business didn't answer.

    The fixWhen you can't pick up on a Minnesota job site, your phone gets answered. The caller's name, address and job get taken down, they get a text back, and the estimate can be booked.

  5. The lead gets lost before you follow up

    What it costs youWinter brings its own run of calls. NOAA logged 981 winter storm, heavy snow, blizzard and ice storm entries for Minnesota over 2023-2025, most in March, December and April. (NOAA Storm Events) With calls on your cell, texts on another phone and forms in an inbox nobody checks, leads slip through.

    The fixOne lead list for every call, text and form, with follow-ups that go out for you. It works with the software you already use.

The same Minneapolis new-roof job, with me and without me

At 9:31 PM, a homeowner in Minneapolis, the largest city in Minnesota with 430,324 people (Census Bureau, 2025), searches "roofers near me" for a quote on a new roof. Here's how that job goes with me and without me, step by step.

What Minnesota contractors get for $997 a monthThe seven pieces behind that Minneapolis new-roof job. The first five follow the homeowner from the search to the booked estimate, and ads and social media bring more homeowners in. I set them up and run them as one system.

Google Maps ranking, and showing up in AI answers

Google Maps SEO on your profile and your site, every month, so homeowners find you when they search your trade where you work in Minnesota, whether that's the Twin Cities or Rochester.

  • Local SEO aimed at the keyword homeowners type, like "roofer near me"
  • Search engine optimization for your profile and your site together
  • Your map rank in the monthly report
  • Helps get you named when people ask ChatGPT or Google's AI answers

Nobody honest can promise a ranking, and I don't. What I bring is 9 years of experience and a full set of tools, and that puts the odds well in your favor. You see where you stand every month.

Your Google Business Profile and reviews

NOAA logged 262 hail reports in Minnesota in 2025, and 205 of them were an inch or larger. (NOAA Storm Events) A homeowner pricing a new roof reads your Google profile first, so I set it up right and keep it showing the work you actually do.

  • Services, service area, hours and contact information filled in
  • Categories that match your trade
  • Photos of your completed jobs, which build trust before the call
  • Review requests that make it easy for happy customers to leave a Google review

A contractor website that books

Not a brochure. A fast site that shows Minnesota homeowners your services, your service area and your state license, then gets them to book the estimate.

  • Your services and service area, spelled out
  • Your number and a book button on every page
  • Every form lands on your lead list
  • Live within 7 days of your approval

The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry licenses residential building contractors, remodelers and residential roofers, and roofing needs a license even when it's the only work you do. Electrical, plumbing and mechanical contractors hold their own state licenses, and commercial contractors register instead. Your site shows the one you hold. (Minnesota DLI)

Your phone, answered and texted back

When nobody picks up during a Minnesota hail summer, the call doesn't die in voicemail. It gets answered, the job details get written down, and the caller gets a text from your business.

  • Answers the calls you can't get to
  • Takes the caller's name, address and what the job is
  • Texts the caller back so they don't move on
  • Can book the estimate for you
  • Missed-call text back catches anyone who hangs up first

One lead list for every call, text and form

Every lead lands in one place, with the job and where it came from, whether it's a call from Hennepin County or a form from Duluth. Follow-ups go out for you, so nobody falls through the cracks while you're on a job.

  • Calls, texts and website forms on one list
  • Follow-ups for leads that go quiet
  • Open the live list on your phone any time
  • A monthly report: calls, texts, leads and map rank

There's no new software to switch to. The lead list works alongside the programs you already run your business on.

  • Ads aimed at homeowners in your service area
  • An ad landing page with your number and a book button
  • Every call and form from an ad lands on your lead list
  • Ad calls you can't get to are answered and texted back

Social media that shows your work

Plenty of Minnesota homeowners look you up on social media before they call. Recent jobs on your page tell someone in St. Paul or Rochester that you're busy, still in business, and doing good work.

  • Your social media pages set up and kept current
  • Posts of your finished jobs, with photos
  • A social hub page for your business

How it works for Minnesota contractors: live in 7 daysThree steps from picking your trade to your system running. I set it all up remotely, so it works the same in Duluth as in Minneapolis.

  1. Start now

    Pick your trade and your Minnesota locations, then book the 15-minute call. We go over where you work, from a few suburbs to the whole metro, and what's costing you calls. If it's a fit, you approve and I start.

  2. Quick onboarding

    A quick onboarding form and a short call: your services, your hours, your Minnesota license, the cities you cover and how you want calls handled. I build the rest.

  3. Calls in 48 hours, all of it in 7 days

    Your calls get answered and texted back within 48 hours. Everything else goes live within 7 days of your approval, or you get your money back.

The price is $997 a month per location and per trade. One location is one address and one trade, with about a 15-mile reach. Each extra location or trade is its own plan at your locked rate. A remodeler with one shop in St. Paul and a second in Rochester has two plans.

Minnesota contractors deal with me, not a marketing agency

I'm Christian Olson. I work from Clinton, Arkansas, and I've spent 9 years helping local businesses get found on Google.

I'm a contractor too. I own a pressure washing, handyman and painting business, so I know the pains contractors deal with every day. I live them myself.

I set up contractors in Minnesota and across the US with the system on this page: roofers, HVAC and plumbing companies, electricians, remodelers, concrete and landscaping crews, up to general contractors and construction companies.

No Minnesota contractor gets passed to an account manager. I build your setup myself. When you need something, you text me, and I'm the one who answers. I don't pitch marketing strategies you can't check: you see your calls, texts, leads and map rank every month.

Word-of-mouth got most Minnesota contractors where they are. A St. Paul homeowner who got your name from a neighbor still checks Google before calling, and that's the part I fix.

Minnesota contractor marketing questions, answered before the call

Do you work with contractors anywhere in Minnesota?

Yes, anywhere in the state.

Christian Olson sets up Minnesota contractors remotely from Clinton, Arkansas, so a roofer in Minneapolis gets the same system as a builder in St. Paul or Rochester, the state's three largest cities in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimates.

How much does contractor marketing cost in Minnesota?

$997 a month per location, no setup fee.

Christian Olson charges Minnesota contractors the one plan everyone gets: $997 a month per location and per trade, with the rate locked for life. Texts, call minutes, emails and AI use are billed at cost as you use them, on top of the $997.

Can my website show my Minnesota contractor license?

Yes.

Christian Olson puts the license you hold from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry on your website. The state licenses residential building contractors, remodelers and residential roofers, and roofing needs a license even when it's the only work you do.

Can you cover my whole Minnesota service area?

Yes, with more locations.

Christian Olson covers more ground by adding locations, each with its own address and its own plan at your locked rate. One location reaches about 15 miles, so a contractor working both Minneapolis and Rochester needs more than one.

Who answers my phone during Minnesota's hail season?

An AI receptionist, set up for you.

NOAA logged 262 Minnesota hail reports in 2025, most in July, August and June. When calls come faster than you can pick up, the AI receptionist Christian Olson sets up answers, takes down the job, texts the caller back and can book the estimate.

Is there a contract?

No.

There's no contract with Christian Olson, so the most you can put at risk is one month. If it isn't working for your Minnesota business, you cancel.

Can you guarantee I'll rank first in Minneapolis?

No.

Christian Olson guarantees your system goes live within 7 days of your approval, never a ranking. The Google Maps SEO runs every month, and your monthly report shows your map rank in the cities you serve, so you see where you stand.

Who will I talk to?

Christian, every time.

Christian Olson is one person, not an agency, and he works with Minnesota contractors remotely from Clinton, Arkansas. He builds your setup himself, and when you need something, you text him at (501) 365-6845.
